This super simple dish can be used as a dip, a side to any dish. Low in fat, high in protein and taste.
Whipped ricotta with mustard and cumin
Ingredients
350 g ricotta, at room temperature
50 g butter
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 sprig curry leaves, fried (see note)
2 tbsp chopped smoked almonds, to serve
Sea salt, to serve
Instructions
Whisk the ricotta until smooth.
Add the butter to a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and has just started to foam, add the mustard seeds and cumin. Cook over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Spread the ricotta onto a platter, then drizzle over the mustard mixture.
Top with fried curry leaves, chopped almonds and a generous pinch of sea salt to serve.

Note
• You can fry curry leaves by heating 1-2 cm of oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the curry leaves and fry until it stops sizzling. Remove the curry leaves from the oil onto a paper towel-lined plate to cool. It will crisp further on cooling.

Fitness and strength start slipping around age 35, then worsen gradually with age. The encouraging twist: adults who began exercising later still improved their physical capacity by up to 10 percent. It’s a powerful reminder that staying active matters, even if you start late.

A long-running Swedish study has followed adults for nearly five decades, uncovering when physical decline truly begins. Fitness and strength start slipping around age 35, then worsen gradually with age. The encouraging twist: adults who began exercising later still improved their physical capacity....

Pea and Ham Soup (slow cooker or stove)
Don't throw your Christmas ham bone away, use it for SOUP!!!
Ingredients
▢500g dried split peas
▢1.2-1.5kg ham hock (aka ham bone), bacon hock or MEATY leftover ham bone
▢1/4 tsp salt (start with less, adjust later)
▢3/4 tsp black pepper
▢2 garlic cloves , minced
▢2 bay leaves , dried or fresh
▢1 onion , finely chopped
▢1 carrot , peeled and finely chopped
▢2 celery sticks , finely chopped
▢8 cups (2 litres/qts) water
Garnishes / serving:
▢Parsley , finely chopped
▢Crusty bread for dunking!

Place peas in slow cooker, push ham in. Scatter all ingredients around the ham bone, then pour over water.
Slow cook 8 to 10 hours on LOW or 6 hours on HIGH. (Or 2.5 hours on low on stove, 1 h – 1 hr 20 min pressure cooker/Instant Pot on HIGH)
Remove ham bone, shred ham meat. Discard bone and fatty skin.
Remove bay leaves. Use a stick blender to blitz 2 or 3 times – thickens soup but doesn’t make it completely smooth (my preference, you can blend completely if you want).
Return ham into slow cooker, stir. Taste and add more salt if needed (soup gets lots of salt from ham).
Serve garnished with parsley. Serve with crusty bread for dunking
